Britney Spears has been admitted to rehab for the third time. The wayward singer dallied with the idea of rehab last week, but checked out of two clinics after just 24 hours. She looks set to stay at an undisclosed rehabilitation centre in Malibu for 35 to 40 days. Britney's behaviour has become increasingly erratic in recent weeks: after a spate of wild partying, concerns were raised for her mental health after Brit shaved her own hair off. Estranged husband Kevin Federline reportedly visited Britney in rehab with their sons Sean and Jayden. Meanwhile, Gwen Stefani has given Britney her support and even said she likes her new hairdo! "I used to live in the same area as Britney for a while," she said. "I just want to give her a kiss." Britney's first husband Jason Alexander, who she married in Las Vegas in 2005 only to annul the marriage after 55 hours, was less positive about her dramatic transformation. He says Britney needs to go back to her small-town Louisiana roots and forget about her fame: "She needs to knock herself down from the pedestal she thinks she is on and remember that she's just an old country girl. She needs a break from Hollywood. Her problem is she doesn't feel anyone wants her for herself - only for who she is."
